Need Inspiration? Arjaunjubri’s Journey

Happy New Year Glam-Aholics!! You all know I often times like to end the year on a good note, well this time I decided to start it off with a new one. Living a Glam-Aholic Lifestyle is not only about having a love for fashion, but also being an inspiration to others. You never know how even the smallest gesture of kindness or love, could motivate & move someone to become a bigger and better person. Arjaunjubri has truly been a blessing to me. Not only here on Confessions, but in my life…period. I wanted you guys to here her voice outside of talking about the latest trends or about her latest hairstyle, she’s so much more than that.

In the words of Arjaunjubri…

This year has truly been a blessing! I’ve met some amazing talented people that have inspired me beyond belief. Never in my wildest dreams would I’ve thought I’ll get the opportunity to be a part of Confessions of a Glam-Aholic!  With it being the end of 2011, I thought it would be the perfect time for me to reflect on what being a part of Team Glam-Aholic has meant to me this past year.

 Ever since I could remember I’ve always had a love for fashion. Before I could even read, I would look through the fashion magazines, studying the pictures on how to create different looks.  Although I’ve explored my other talents of acting and cinematography, fashion has always remained my passion. When I was in film class, I was more interested with the character’s wardrobe than developing the treatment for the shot.  Fashion was always involved in whatever I was doing; it became obvious that it was the field I was supposed to be in.

After college, I started working for my mom’s company and got stuck in a rut. Working a 9-5 never really gave me a chance to focus on my dream.  Soon after, I became a mother and spent all my time and energy focusing on my child. My life was moving at a fast pace and I was still unsure of what my purpose was in life. I would ask God every day, was I wasting my talents? Or was my love for fashion just a hobby? I was really confused and unfocused at this point of my life. I knew the Bible said I had to be still and patient for God to answer my prayers; so I waited.

As I waited for my answer, I started back incorporating fashion into my life. I discovered Confessions Of A Glam-Aholic and read it religiously.  It was so different from other fashion blogs. Mia actually talked to her readers like they were her girlfriends asking her what to wear. Her topics were so relatable, like how to get the smoke smell from the club out of your hair. The blog was so real that you felt like you knew Mia on a personal level.  Reading the blog made me realize how much I loved fashion, it became my therapy.

While I prayed for some direction in my life, little did I know God was already moving me along my life path when I received the opportunity I had been praying for.  I had met Mia Ray one day while shopping in Forever 21. She was so sweet and humble; that it was surreal. Although I was unsure at the time, I knew I had met her for a reason. When Mia presented me with the opportunity to join Confessions Of A Glam-Aholic, a chance to blog about my passion, I knew my dream was coming full circle. I admit I was extremely nervous about writing, because writing was never “my thing”. So with a lot of practice and help, I became better at it with every post.

Since becoming a part of Confessions, I have learned so much! Mia is such a huge inspiration and great teacher, I am forever grateful to her for seeing something in me that I didn’t see in myself. Not to sound too much like a cliché but, dreams do come true!  Sometimes, God sends you through a series of test so you’re able to handle the blessing he will bestow on you.  Blogging for Confessions has made me realized my full potential.  I know I said a lot but, if you don’t remember anything I said remember this; it’s not always how you start but how you finish.  I love all of you Glam-Aholics, you all mean more to me than ya’ll ever know!

Love, Bri

Yeah, so Arjaujubri made me cry lol! But this is even more reason why I love her. We all have a story to tell. Just know that someone is always willing to listen. What you believe is nothing, could be EVERYTHING to someone else. In 2012, I want all of my Glam-Aholics to live life to your full potential! The only person that can stop you…is you. 

Stay Calm, And Live A Glam-Aholic Lifestyle.
